Take-home message
You are lucky to live in an age of incomparable opportunity for anyone who has energy, patience and big dreams. With the right dose of hard work and passion you can achieve anything. The secret of Gary's success lies in these three simple rules: love your family, work hard and live your passion.
Living your passion means waking up happy to go to work every morning because you are going to do the thing that you love most in the world. You won't even need holidays or breaks because work, rest and play will be the same thing. All that you need to do is go online and use the tools that are awaiting for you. Social media offers entrepreneurs unprecedented opportunity to interact with their clients and to convey their message to them. The internet does not only represent one of the biggest cultural changes in our history, it also signifies the biggest change to the way that we do business. People have moved their social lives onto the Internet and money goes where people go.
Everyone should start thinking of themselves as a brand: this is no longer a choice, it is necessary.
Building your brand is a process that takes a lot of time, commitment and concentration, but only a small amount of money, if any at all. This, my friends, is the major advantage of the game: it is not only for people with lots of money; everyone has a chance.
You'll have 7 days free, and if you're not satisfied after 30 days, you can get your money back.
